Onamukulo
Open-knowledge reference entry
Onamukulo is a village in the Ohangwena Region of northern Namibia. It is 225 kilometres (140 mi) north of Windhoek and belongs to Omulonga Constituency. It is situated about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of Oshigambo village.
Onamukulo village is divided into two parts and is separated by the main road running through from Ondangwa to Oshigambo. The two parts of the village are known as Omiye (the cuca shops side, on the right side of the road) and the true village (on the left side of the road) but run and administered by one headman, Tom Nakathingo. It has 80 homesteads with an average of 5 people per homestead. The inhabitants in this village have homesteads made of tree poles cut in the forest found in Okaonde area. But due to the high growth rate, suitable trees are now becoming scarce, and the forest is slowly but surely being destroyed, which has led the new generation planning to build houses to use alternative materials, such as bricks, mud, thatch, mesh-wires, etc. Onamukulo is rich in fertile soils, thus they depend on farming for survival. Their farming activities include mahangu cultivation, herding cattle, goats and donkeys, but the village usually receives poor rainfall, and thus they have difficulties in keeping sheep and horses, although they are found in very low quantities.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Onamukulo” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7091691. Authority coordinates are -17.684, 16.060. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
